It’s literally an old-fashioned way to nourish the constitution, provide components that the body uses to replenish the skin, and offer a simple broth that sustains a person through lunch until the major meal of the day. It’s bone broth!

The Paleo enthusiasts are promoting bone broth and recognize that it has a long history that can be traced back to being beneficial for the health of the gut. The collagen and other components are ideally suited for the skin and cartilage repair. The value of bone broth has even sparked a unique restaurant, Brodo, in New York to experiment with various combinations of vegetables, spices, and herbs for their customers who love to sip their concoctions.

I recently found a small single-serve packaging solution from Pacific with organic chicken bone broth with onions and rosemary that is pleasant and offers an ease of preparation for those who do not have the luxury of hours for making their own. However, if you do venture into bone broth making from beef, chicken, or fish; then onions, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and other vegetables you have on hand. I personally love onions, celery, and carrots; but other root vegetables and Greens will further contribute to the nutrient density of the bone broth and enhance the flavor profile. You can finish the bone broth with herbs like parsley, oregano, thyme, scallions, and any other nutritional powerhouse in your kitchen. Cool the bone broth after preparation to preserve the value of the nutrients and the taste given that you make enough at any one time to have plenty from each batch!

Bone broth is a great new trend that is deserving of a come-back after proving the health-enhancing value over centuries!
